[@Mooks_cottage]

I grew up in Doveton and Dandenong - went to Dandy High in the 90's... I used to walk home from Dandy station home to Doveton at night, as a young teenager - I learnt to be stealth! I came from shit home life - both parents always in trouble with the cops, in and out of jail for my mum... but I kept to myself, head down, and worked my arse off to get out of the cycle of poverty, and I did but it took hard work to prove I was not a product of my environment. Growing up in these suburbs teaches you to be resilient and you never forget where you come from, and pushes you to work harder to ensure you never return. Thank you Spanian and hopefully you can help those realise Crime is never the answer!

[@PlaAwa]

good stuff bro. yeah, sold out house in dovey a few years back and just sold my dandy house in december, waiting for setttlement and then i'm finally outta here baby. this vid is depressing to me but at the same time i couldn't stop watching it.

[@Mooks_cottage]

Good job! But I am woman... more reasons to be stealth! But I never encountered any issues... maybe whatever my mother did - had me pinned not to be touched by anyone haha. Good luck with the move!

[@dalegolotta1965]

So true mate I also hung around slums of doveton . And many guys ended up in either jail or died from drug overdoses . But so many also became very successful business people and hard workers that went in to have amazing lives. But I don’t see this generation having as many people leading good lives in the future or becoming good citizens or role models to their own kids .

[@natashaszydlak4411]

Good on you!! It's people like YOU who need to be this new generations role models. You should be so proud of yourself. I was very lucky to grow up in a rural area so there wasn't much trouble I could get into.....cow tipping??!! You are a bloody legend and make this world a better place! Peace and Love

You also clearly have no idea of the affects this has on the mental health and the experiences other people deal with. People don’t want to be in a cycle of suffering.

I’ll always have fond memories of Dandy. Being so multicultural, kind and funny people , shout out Dandy Primary School and Dandy High, the market, the weirdos and the bums outside the plaza, the hidden food spots, etc etc Dandy has character (bad and good), Dandenong represent 😆🙌🏾

Jimmy's kebabs with the 16 buck massive HSPs haha But yeah my nan lives on Menzies. Has for 60 years. Commission too. Her house is in the video but I won't say which. I also currently live in one of the bording houses in this video too. Not the one shown but the same owner and I have friends at that one. But ya dead right. Bunch of people legit banding together through rough times. Most of the people not on Ice are solid. And nearly all of the weed smokers are chill. Even that guy who asked for a light. He's a character. He was born in the south of America during Segregation. Like Lousisiana/New Orleans He is disabled and lives at an assisted living place on the street they walked down. He actually smokes weed like a MFer and everytime he sees me asks if I got some. I occasionally roll a joint and chill with him. He's a super nice guy. His name is Flowers lol He's seen a whole other world to us man. He talk about Dandenong like its paradise compared to where he come from.

Awesome group of lads !!! I like that about the lower income suburbs where the community of people are more real , comradery with neighbours and the community polices its self.

[@cathyo4764]

You buy the myki card, put some money on it and then you get charged by the zones. So Dandenong is zones 1 & 2. Full fare is probably about $5 or more. Also if you tap on and then tap off under 15 minutes, you don't get charged for that trip. You can also add that card to your phone wallet so you can tap on that way if that helps.

South Melbourne and Port Melbourne, in particular Garden City had mad crews in those days too. The Oakleigh W@&$ too. Times have changed. Everyone respected 3174 & 3175 in those days though.

[@DaniilBalkans-jh2rw]

It's like that in most former places like Dandenong. Nothing comes close to the 1980's & 90's, everywhere it was pumping. Plenty work of all sorts, earning was easier, lots of cash everywhere as everything was cash based, les coppers, less technology, no camera's & CCTV everywhere, less alarms & security, less restrictive laws, people punched on instead of stab or shoot, there was still a criminal code of ethics that every crim learnt first & then lived by. Crews stuck solid & could trust each other, & had each other's back without saying. There was no crack or bupe back then , that makes shells of former good men like today. It was a different time & completely different men back then. Now the ice & bupe epidemic & it's mental health partner have pervaded all aspects of community, society, humanity & life. Now it seems that everywhere you look we are dealing with & nursing some spinner in psychosis or a crackhead who think's he's God or some devil, a good earn today is sneako - ing an old lady & snatching her handbag or Peter thieving from your best mate, or back door him😳. Or bashing your missus or mother, these crimes are sweet today, & even a putrid teller or scotcher is ok if he's whacking up!!. Still in the 70's, 80's & 90's that sort of shit did not fly , the shit men were found out quickly & the rest left were all good solid men, most of the time!. A gangster was a gentleman, not a crack head or hard talking face tattooed 40 kg skeleton who walks with a bigger bridge than Sydney Harbour bridge & tells the whole world how he has killed a hundred people & bashed everyone from Mike Tyson to every champion in every field , he has got them all😂. That's today, compared to the 80's & 90's, different world & different people!!. Them two decades were definitely the last of the Mohicans, shout out to all the boys who run in the 80's & 90's👍❤️.

I grew up in Dandenong. I never saw it as a bad neighbourhood nor did it feel like that. There was always gangs and stuff but if you stay out of it you’d be okay most the times. It’s kinda safe and good place to live in. Great video and perspective for those who don’t live here but again, it’s not as bad as Sydney for example it’s a good place with good people. Thanks for the entertaining content bro!

[@pritcheey958]

I grew up in Dandy North as well. I am the same, I have never seen Dandy as a bad neighborhood. It's all about just minding your own business and never got hassled. My mum lives in Dandy North still but I never have a problem with Dandy

[@powerdove]

Same as Frankston. You gotta know when you're better off not being mouthy and when it's sometimes better to stay outta sight, but generally speaking you've gotta be pretty unlucky to really get into trouble. Still though, I just assumed everyone had been in organised fights (get the trolley poles out) and was a bit surprised when I made friends from the North and learned that some people just dodged all of that growing up.

[@osi9870]

Straight out never seen gangs hanging on the street not even at Menzies. It ain’t like that

[@mgray1609]

@@pritcheey958 yall realize this is the same in every single country in the world right 😂now

[@joeeeyyyyyy]

Sounds similar to Canadian cities. Sure, some neighborhoods are notorious for being underdeveloped, areas with affordable housing, or aging homes tend to be a little rougher due to the demographic that stays there. (Eventually cleaning up when prices get to the point where developing is super affordable, which attracts more money) There's a good universal rule to remember... Keep it moving if you don't belong there, get to where your going, an keep your head on a swivel. Mind your business and you'll be fine. You can't be a victim of any sort of violence if no one is around or gets the chance to get close to you.

As a Melbournian that grew up in Frankston, starting in Dandenong was the right choice, either that or inner northern suburbs of Melbourne. 15 -20 years ago I would definitely say the pines (Frankston north) and west park (hastings) both public housing estates, both were wild back in the day lmao

Though there is more abandoned/empty shops than their used to be outside of the shopping center, which looks well shit.

I live in a very quiet street in the leafy inner city suburbs where nothing happens. $1million + houses. The kind of street where I’m not even overly concerned about locking the car or doors. Can leave things of value out in the garden. About 3 months ago a family moved onto the street into what turns out to be a housing commission house. Music blasting at all house. Fighting. Police have raided the house 3 times. Ambulances. Doors off the hinges already. Litter now everywhere on the street. Just not a good situation. It’s crazy how even one household can completely alter the dynamic of an area and make life way more stressful than it needs to be. Respect to anyone that manages to rise and get out of situations where in some cases every house in their entire suburb is as bad as just one example I’ve encountered because that is a tough life when it’s all that you know.
